To determine how many pounds there are in [tex]\( x \)[/tex] kilograms, we start with the given conversion factor: there are 2.2 pounds in 1 kilogram. This means that for every kilogram, we multiply the number of kilograms by 2.2 to convert the weight into pounds.
Let's denote the number of kilograms as [tex]\( x \)[/tex]. To convert [tex]\( x \)[/tex] kilograms into pounds, we need to multiply [tex]\( x \)[/tex] by the conversion factor (2.2 pounds per kilogram).
So, the expression to convert [tex]\( x \)[/tex] kilograms into pounds is:
[tex]\[ \text{pounds} = 2.2 \times x \][/tex]
Therefore, the number of pounds in [tex]\( x \)[/tex] kilograms is represented by the expression [tex]\( 2.2 x \)[/tex].
The correct answer is:
[tex]\[ 2.2 x \][/tex]
